The immersive Van Gogh exhibit is opening in our town from February to May & we're not sure if we'll get vaccinated in time to go to see it.

Good luck!
The exhibit is moving to Indianapolis for the summer. Maybe we take a road trip out there for it.

I too dislike my wife LOL

raised in a fam with issues, friends had similar; I'm absolutely convinced that's the only option. so I've basically avoided relationships
I know that's not the case, but it's all I've seen. honestly I'd rather be single than risk it, which kinda sucks.

I also dislike this man’s wife LOL

So as a man I'm supposed to like whisky, hate going to the museum because I'm kinda dumb so how could I appreciate art and also am unable
Daemon7777
I feel offended because I like whisky. Can you please not just go around and offend people like that?
Sure. You are completely ok for liking whisky. I didn't say it was wrong.
2) to tell my partner that I don't want to go or if I'm doing this for her I can't be bothered to be nice so she can enjoy it. This is crap

Well done. Your Man Card should arrive in mail in the next 3-5 business days.
Ya because boomer humor = WIFE BAD, WHISKEY GOOD

My husband loves art museums. I dont. Either he goes without me or I play spot the vampire. And look for the most vampire portait there.
Doesnt work for Monet though
GlassCanon
I used to live in DC. I would spend my entire weekends trawling the museums. This is aberrant behavior and not to be celebrated. ick
You know it didn’t actually happen, right? And sweet humblebrag.
Are you asking if I know that it's a commercial? That wasn't a boast. It's just what you do when you have like 50 museums that close to you.
It’s sarcasm. I’m saying stop taking it so seriously.
Was it?
Fine, it was rhetorical but highlighting that you’re a pompous ass. Better?

Trying to get out of doing something you don't like all day is natural. The cringy part is "uncompromising men", like that's a good thing. »

This isn’t boomer humour, they’re making the man out to be dumb.

solsammo
Just like those racist jokes we all love to laugh at right?

You asked a question, and I gavea thought out, correct answer. And your reaction is to (badly) try to insult me?
OhThatCheddarBob
Okay boomer
M4Firefly
There's a cycle to everything, everything eventually comes back like tight pants and bell-bottoms.
And every generation made fun of the trends that came before them. Everyone will eventually get mocked by the young. You me and all!
Sorry - not a boomer. Just warning yall we ain't the final phase of enlightenment. (every generation thinks so - see hippies)
DurendaI
Yeah but we have an immortal lexicon of culture and information at our fingertips at any point these days.
And that too will improve - AI / algorithms and CHIP IMPLANTS (maybe) will always afford future generations better judgment.

Very well put. This douchebaggery just isn't funny anymore.
NOTaRussianBot
Old sitcoms are nauseating. Fat douche with intelligent, smoke show wife doesn’t want to spend time with her bc beer and football. So funny!
I remember watching a Three’s Company rerun with adult eyes, and was just horrified at the chauvinism. RIP John Ritter, tho.

When your bitch wife drags you to see incredible art in a pleasant location, am I right boys? Haha. Instead of trying to enjoy it I’m 1/2
donkeystothecastle
Bitch wife demands a house remodel because house is old fashioned for her. He has to go to lumber store alone to pick up supplies.
Wife goes and gets her nails done and comes back and complains she doesn't like parts of what he did and makes him do it again.
He says "do it yourself then" she says she has a headache and don't expect to get laid for awhile.
Guy just wanted to lay around and watch Christmas movies and cuddle.
Gonna act like she’s my mother and forcing me to do things i don’t like, and then ruin her day out. Hehe nice one, yeah? 2/2
Oh yeah, high five bro!

Here we see the post boomer man, trapped in a mentality wherein if something holds no merit to him, it must not hold any merit to society.
I'm not saying it has no value. I'm saying it's pretentious and I won't hesitate to point that out.
TwelveMotionJeweledSkull
I’ll double down on a sheet of wood doesn’t deserve being presented as art.
Where's the sheet of wood? It's Gesso and brown acrylics on canvas.
CommentsWithGandalf
It's not that art is bad. It's just boring as fuck and I have better things to do. I can look up the art of my screen thank you
I should clarify that I personally find art galleries boring. Looking at art on the internet however is amazingly fun

It depends on the gallery but yeah! Botharegood.gif

Wow, a lot of people assumed you were only criticizing how the woman is portrayed.
Nope. Gender norms are fucking BS and are used to create a schism and sell products
I love how this community is so "progressive" until somebody dares to challenge your favorite corporate media
Wow, another person that lacks an ounce of humor!
Guarantee you've been triggered by a meme on Facebook recently
Not as triggered as your reaction to this joke.
Lol that means "i only tagged, like, 3 cancel groups"
UnceTysFeeTimesAMady
I don’t think that word means what you think it means
Perpetuating negative stereotypes?
Are you trying to say women liking art galleries is a negative stereotype?
I'm saying men not liking them, and doing anything while a woman who clearly doesn't get it has to leave and men all clap
Maybe the negative stereotype would be the woman forcing the man to do something he doesn’t want to do?
Well honestly I feel a high percentage of humans don't like art galleries. Serve beer and add tables and I'm in though.
To be fair that art looks literally like a bunch of skidmarks on a big canvas. Like a giant's bog roll.

Fulfilling societal norms to pretend like you doing what is expected of you and being happy about it while your existence slowly rots 1/2
Away from the inside leaving you an empty husked kept up straight only by spite, self hate and rage to inflict this same fate on others?2/2
Pretty much, that’s what our parents were taught for three generations back. Anyone trying to buck this tradition is “liberal” or “weak”.

Amen to this! I'm usually the one that my girlfriends (and/or other friends) are trying to drag out of the museum...
astrangehop
I like em, but I really can't look at more than 10 paintings before I'm worn out. That's like an hour at least.
ballisticsreport
I like em too, but definitely get worn out. After about 2.5-3 hours I feel fried and my brain doesn’t want anymore.
Seeing others looking at a painting for three minutes and walking. To me that's FallingAsleepToTheOffice level of attention.
I work in an art museum. The average time spent looking at an artwork is something like 15 seconds.

AuleMahal
I see a lot of anti-“modern art” in these comments, I’m curious why you have such a distaste for it?
because if it looks like the art in the gif in this post, it's ugly, and many people would agree, hence the stereotype
I was throwing you a bone hoping you’d give a reasonable answer, but you straight up chose “stereotyping” as an acceptable choice? You ok?
stereotypes exist for a reason. modern art gets so much shit because most of it is ugly AF and trying to pass itself off as avant garde 1/2
Nate2322
They don’t understand it, and what they don’t understand they hate.
Nadyanilo
I see it as art with a lack of skill. It's all accidental art to me, and I'm not down with happenstance paint on canvas.
With all of your deliberate skill it should be easy to surpass any one of these accidents then, so go on.
You askwd why we don't like it, then you get mad and challenge us to to better? I thought you just wanted to know why people thought this.
Although I'm sure your view that 'modern art' is skill-less is probably shared by many it is nonetheless incredibly incorrect.
I appreciate this branch of the conversation much better than being berated for my opinion on it. Thank you.

I ABSOLUTELY can spend the whole day there.
I did spend the whole day there once, I took my ex-fiancé there for our first Valentine's day. I remember that it was a great aquarium

People will be offended at the littlest things. Humor will be a thing of the past.
highhiedyin
Your comment is both humorous and offensive. Excellent job!
DoubleChungTransplant
Humor will never be a thing of the past. You can be offensive and funny, it just has to be funny. Boomer humor is dying, not good edgy humor
Edgy now. Offense in 15 minutes. Don’t fool yourself. Someone will find offense. because people like being the victim.
HalucinogenicCacti
Some people bere may be offended. But many just recognise that this "humour" based on tired old stereotypes isn't particularly funny
BionicRagdoll
More that humor based on toxic behavior normalizes it in our society which makes healthy relationships difficult. Also its just not funny.
Craicerjack
The past is riddled with offensive humor. Riding the crest of what's offensive is an art. Doesn't mean nobody will be able to do it anymore.
Yea, I don’t get the outrage culture much either. Just bums me out to see this stuff.
Frankly, it's outrageous that people should be offended amirite
People aren't "offended". They're saying that treating childish behaviour like this as positive and "masculine" is fucked up.
I was being sarcastic, sorry. And trying to make a point about being offended at the idea of people being offended.
bigkingdingaling
Come on, that's a really shitty and uninspired painting
AdequateGirth
Its not about that, its something he doesn't lIke and doesn't want to spend all day doing, so he gives himself an out.
Yeah, by acting like a child with his mother.
Yeah, he's only lying to his partner, breaking the rules of the museum, and risking property damage to force everyone to do what he wants.
VanillaJester
Then maybe he should communicate with his partner like an adult re: the things he enjoys and does not enjoy. Instead of lying to her.
upfr0mhere
Grow a fucking spine and talk to your partner then, this is weak and cringe as fuck
Arkara73
Part of the joke is that he clearly failed to do that step as well
1Plebian
That would be better. Takes two to tango though and many people settle for what they can get. Also when married you might not have a choice.
This is what many people allow for themselves to avoid being alone.
Look at you still wanting a one sided conversation. Commit one way or another. When two different people live together, circumstances like
Well maybe if we stopped putting it forward as "normal behaviour", like this commercial does, and instead represented adult communication /1
Abetterusernamethanyours
Why did he agree to go if he knew he wouldn't like it? What didn't he talk to her about leaving? This is weak sauce
ArchangelTitus
Or you know put up with things that you may not enjoy so that your partner is happy. Just so long as there is a balance and they do the same
for you.
lonewolf9556
Um, no? I dont give a shit how happy you are if I'm miserable. Then again, if they wanna go to the art show without me, idgaf.
Aye and that is probably why you are called lonewolf. I will sit through something I do not enjoy simply to make my partner happy.
The name is in relation with my native american heritage, actually. Regardless, I wouldn't expect my SO to sit and play video games of she
Because he's a submissive idiot, get it? Ha ha! So he lies to his partner and is a general dick to everyone to get what he wants. lol /s
AceBandito
Doesn't even make sense. His "way out" seemingly still has her mad at him. She's not proud of him being super into art. He still loses.
ruferto
some partner couples can't fathom the idea of leaving their significant others alone. "i'm enjoying myself why do we have to go" 1/2
"oh, so you're just gonna leave me?" ... its wierd and kinda toxic, i dunno 2/2
Seems like that's what may be going on here
EdieWutWutMonster
Cause communication isn't common.
DVSBSTrD
Why didn't he fix his bloody teeth at any point in the last forty years?
Maybe they were there for a long time already and he’s just had enough. Eventually you got to leave
Maybe, but there are better ways to communicate that than this
dasklaus
If you don't have a choice something is seriously wrong with your marriage.
lol
Right? I'd be horrified if my partner did this rather than just telling me he wanted to leave due to boredom.
Izdleve
I wouldn't even act this way when I was a kid. Brattyness is not attractive in a partner, or anyone
jadack
Unless he suggested to go, hes probly just there cause he Loves you, and hes afraid you don't want to go unless he joins you
And that's lovely if he did. However acting like that is not ok regardless of who suggested it. There are some other polite ways out.
Such as, "Hey, would you like to go grab a coffee and a treat?", or "Are you enjoying this exhibit?", "what's you favorite piece so far?"
HappyEngineer
If that's true then the advert still doesn't make sense
Drunk art gallery visits are amazing tho until you get kicked out for commenting on Classical era penis sizes even though it's a valid topic

Statements that reinforce toxic behavior aren't funny, they are sad.
You laugh at racist jokes don't you? Don't lie.
LinkaAdoptsACouger
Jokes should be funny
"I could spend all day here" "Eh this isn't as interesting to me but I'm glad you're enjoying it" Done.
no where in that 2nd sentence do you say you want to leave, need to step your communication game up
dragonherder
Sadly most people lack communication and maturity at that level.
And it's a shame adverts like this celebrate that bad behaviour
I mean if that's how people tend to act they will regardless.
queenbrochette
Stop being mature and well adjusted, don't you know this is the internet? (Adding /s in case)
I know you are but what am I!
carnsolus
I'm assuming they've already been there for hours, and I assume he agreed to it because he loves her and wants her to be happy
Then he should be a respectful partner and say "Im glad you are enjoying this, but I find it dreadful could we please leave?" Not an ass.
When people complain about toxic masculinity, they are talking about the reinforcing of behaviors that hurt everyone with jokes like this.
PicassoCT
How about toxic female traits? If you dont enjoy and behave like i want you to behave, im leaving you?
Those are also bad, Whataboutism doesn't take away from a problem, it just states that there are multiple problems in the world.
Oh, wait never a good moment to discuss those.

So as a man I'm supposed to like whisky, hate going to the museum because I'm kinda dumb so how could I appreciate art and also am unable
Daemon7777
I feel offended because I like whisky. Can you please not just go around and offend people like that?
spookyactionatadistance
Sure. You are completely ok for liking whisky. I didn't say it was wrong.

2) to tell my partner that I don't want to go or if I'm doing this for her I can't be bothered to be nice so she can enjoy it. This is crap

I'm saying men not liking them, and doing anything while a woman who clearly doesn't get it has to leave and men all clap

Maybe the negative stereotype would be the woman forcing the man to do something he doesn’t want to do?

because if it looks like the art in the gif in this post, it's ugly, and many people would agree, hence the stereotype
AuleMahal
I was throwing you a bone hoping you’d give a reasonable answer, but you straight up chose “stereotyping” as an acceptable choice? You ok?

stereotypes exist for a reason. modern art gets so much shit because most of it is ugly AF and trying to pass itself off as avant garde 1/2

Yeah, he's only lying to his partner, breaking the rules of the museum, and risking property damage to force everyone to do what he wants.

Then maybe he should communicate with his partner like an adult re: the things he enjoys and does not enjoy. Instead of lying to her.

Um, no? I dont give a shit how happy you are if I'm miserable. Then again, if they wanna go to the art show without me, idgaf.

Aye and that is probably why you are called lonewolf. I will sit through something I do not enjoy simply to make my partner happy.

The name is in relation with my native american heritage, actually. Regardless, I wouldn't expect my SO to sit and play video games of she

Doesn't even make sense. His "way out" seemingly still has her mad at him. She's not proud of him being super into art. He still loses.

Unless he suggested to go, hes probly just there cause he Loves you, and hes afraid you don't want to go unless he joins you

And that's lovely if he did. However acting like that is not ok regardless of who suggested it. There are some other polite ways out.

Statements that reinforce toxic behavior aren't funny, they are sad.

You laugh at racist jokes don't you? Don't lie.

Jokes should be funny

"I could spend all day here" "Eh this isn't as interesting to me but I'm glad you're enjoying it" Done.

no where in that 2nd sentence do you say you want to leave, need to step your communication game up
dragonherder
Sadly most people lack communication and maturity at that level.
HappyEngineer
And it's a shame adverts like this celebrate that bad behaviour
dragonherder
I mean if that's how people tend to act they will regardless.

Stop being mature and well adjusted, don't you know this is the internet? (Adding /s in case)

I'm assuming they've already been there for hours, and I assume he agreed to it because he loves her and wants her to be happy

Then he should be a respectful partner and say "Im glad you are enjoying this, but I find it dreadful could we please leave?" Not an ass.

When people complain about toxic masculinity, they are talking about the reinforcing of behaviors that hurt everyone with jokes like this.

How about toxic female traits? If you dont enjoy and behave like i want you to behave, im leaving you?
LordHosk
Those are also bad, Whataboutism doesn't take away from a problem, it just states that there are multiple problems in the world.
PicassoCT
Oh, wait never a good moment to discuss those.
